Texas Governor improves on his states famous export

Seems that most jokes spread about Texas refers to their infamous export= b.s. or in plain english bullshit! hot air ! or exaggeration!
Seems his great claim of good paying jobs is just that =bull shit!
PERRY: "Ninety-five percent of all the jobs that we've created have been above minimum wage."

THE FACTS: To support the claim, the Perry campaign provided federal statistics for December 2010 showing only 5.3 percent of all jobs in Texas pay the minimum wage.

But those figures represent all workers, not just the new jobs, for which data are unavailable. And that does not account for low-wage jobs that may be barely above the minimum wage. According to the Texas Workforce Commission, 51 percent of all Texas workers make less than $33,000 a year. Only 30 percent make more than $50,000 a year. Nationally, Texas ranked 34th in median household income from 2007 to 2009.

hmmm hmmm just ths facts jack just the facts!
